As summer draws to a close and the evenings get longer, many of us are bound to spend less time in beer gardens and more in cozy pubs, armed with a pint of stout and a triple wrapped scarf.
However, NOMA, the city center neighborhood which sits just behind Victoria Station, has announced a three-day garden party featuring a massive line-up of workshops, music, food and drink to celebrate the drawing in the summer months.
There’ll be loads to do across the event, which sees independent Manchester-based brewery, Cloudwater operating two bars across the site pouring pint upon pint of its homebrewed lager, IPAs and barley wine from the seasonal brewers.
Aside from this, New Century, the newest member of the NOMA neighborhood has finally opened its doors and there’s SO MUCH to explore here. Find excellent street food vendors including; Adam Reid’s Butty Shop, PLY, Banh Vi, Zumuku sushi, Bao Bros other tallowalongside specially made cocktails and interiors straight from the 70s.
Art, workshops and performance lead the way in entertainment across the three-day party with highlights from the likes of Polysporewho will teach visitors how to grow mushrooms and explore the different uses for the unique fungi in everyday life.
A full line-up of musicians and DJs will soundtrack the event and there’s plenty to keep the kids occupied, too, from woodland animals to participatory musical ensembles and collaborative art workshops where guests can contribute to the Big Garden Party flag.
And if that’s not enough, Cinderwood Market Garden will be there with fresh, locally grown produce from its one acre market garden in Cheshire. The market was built upon a relationship between a grower and a chef who believe in farming food for flavor.
It grows all year round using regenerative farming methods and organic principles, supplying and delivering vegetables, herbs, salad leaves and fruit to the North-West. Finally, Pippy Eats will pop-up with her Mini Mart full of glorious Asian goods and homemade sauces to sample across the three days.
